***Official***Match #18- Australia vs Pakistan- October 20th-Bengaluru (D/N)

[Nintendo]

Rauf's line this over really confuses me. Like he's just bowling to keep them to 6-7 an over and not take a wicket at this point. It's way too negative. You let AUS go at that rate for over 11-35 and your gonna end up staring down 350+. FFS our middle order is dogdicks.

Poor wording on my part. Vaughan was thought a smart captain, but is actually a worthless stupid troll. Ponting was thought to be a short tempered **** with not much going on upstairs, and he's actually pretty sharp and does try to be sympathetic to players even when he's blunt with them.

Plus those beautiful hairy arms

 

[King Kane]

Rauf getting smashed bowling at the other end now, another record could be broken here if be bowls his full 10 overs.

 

[number11]

Rauf is absolutely braindead. Never seen Pk have bowling this trashy before. Not for decades anyway.

 

[straw man]

This should be a fun match to watch. At least, up until the point where Pakistan suddenly fall apart and lose.

Mmm turns out this happened at about the 4th over of the first innings.

 

[Starfighter]

Nice closing out of the over there. Despite the fact he obviously has some skill, and his BBL success, I've never really rated Rauf because he is incredibly hittable when he's not in rare form, and he doesn't seem to think very much about what he's bowling.

Usama is exactly the kind of slow **** spinner that would get pounded by every other team but clean up the hapless Aussies on a turning pitch

 

[Molehill]

Australia with a great opportunity to resolve their NRR issues here. This is an absolute mess from Pakistan.

I'm starting to think 500 could be on here...

 

[thierry henry]

Yeah.Doesn't seem a very bright bloke but confident.

surely someone calling himself ‘BazBall’ understands that this works

 

[Gob]

Marsh is brutally strong

Pakistan don't deserve to go through with such a poor side. Can't bowl, can't bat and can't field. Have a morning off and hope for a good game - not this.

 

[Burgey]

Haris 47* off 18.

Quite the strike rate ain’t it?

renowned western suburbs second grader Haris Rauf bowling like a western suburbs second grader so far today

 

[BazBall21]

I feel like Pakistan's bowling has been more bad than Australia's batting has been good.

 

[Athlai]

This Australian 400 will help restart their WC

 

[number11]

This Australian 400 will help restart their WC

450 looks on. Maybe 500.

 

[Gob]

At what point would you send in Maxwell at 3?

 

[thierry henry]

Rauf is somehow bowling a very hittable looking 147 clicks. Batters don’t look hurried in the slightest.

 

[thierry henry]

At what point would you send in Maxwell at 3?

When 1 wicket falls imho

They are looking like the worst team in the tournament right now, it's been park level stuff from them so far apart from Shaheen who bowled quite well.

Haha fat chix
